I've never tasted these bad boys before. what am i in for, Veeky Forums?

Oysters are commonly battered in many countries, as is seafood in general. Not all cultures traditionally eat raw seafood. Why is any of this a stretch?

still sound retarded to me

Oysters are battered and fried in the US as well. The stretch was him saying that the last bit about bones and skin wasn't talking about oysters, when nothing other than oysters was ever mentioned.

Sounds like they fucking suck and only taste as good as whatever you put on them.

You only fucking mentioned oysters, asshat. Why would anyone be able to assume you were referring to anything else.

>Do Americans ever eat raw oysters though? I never saw any when I went last year.

I live in the middle of nowhere in Ohio and there is a restaurant that has raw oysters ~5 minutes away from me. They are all over.

Actually I mentioned marine life quite pointedly; perhaps you didn't pick up on this because your people only eat various carp and other types of inland fish

I've never tried raw oysters myself. Do you chew them or just suck them down?

Dude, at least wait until Australia power-hour if you're going to insist on spouting completely inaccurate garbage and shitposting about America; right now you're just making yourself look ignorant and pathetic.

Funny, I went though Ohio but wasn't there long
They are very soft if alive, if you're even tempted to chew there's a big problem. I've only once experienced this at an awful expat bar in lan kwai fong, I regretted not trusting my instincts but I was a bit drunk

do americans really eat oysters drenched in sriracha?

Stop being so nationalistic, your arseburgers reflects badly upon you alone, and you'll be unsuccessful if you hope to deflect this into/int/-tier shitposting

>nationalistic

You tried to derail the thread with a "do americans really" shitpost and then proceeded to dig yourself into a deeper and deeper hole by demonstrating that you have no clue what you're talking about and are only here to troll.

It was an honest question, don't blame me for your insecurity

why the hell are non American countries so obsessed about how we do shit?

>we dont care about yall
>stupid americans

You guys literally post this shit all the time

You have to understand that these people have a very, very limited number of foods available to them compared to Americans, so naturally they are both intrigued and jealous.

If someone posted «do people from Lesotho really ________» the people from Lesotho would try to be helpful

It's only in America where they assume the other 5,5 billion humans on earth must be intimately familiar with American customs and, if not, it must be an attack on America that demands a strong, decisive counterattack lest the evil foreigner think America is weak

If people from Lesotho spoke enough English to be posting here they'd recognize that as a derivation of an established shitpost.

>they'd be helpful
>why do americans get so defensive

Fuck off until Australian hours when people actually enjoy empty shitposting.

Please don't be angry at me or invade my country out of sheer confusion, like you did with Iraq, but English is one of the official languages of Lesotho and is generally understood by anyone who would have internet access

raw oysters? probably will hate them at first. i love them now, but only after trying my dads like 3 different times. i hate cooked oysters now

its really good when you get them at a reliable restaurant. i recommend harrys in DE if you live close. its a pricey place, but they shuck and keep them clean and cold. ive had some places serve them without the liquor or even cold. and if theres a bit of shell in the bite, it ruins it all.

Nope.

>Do Americans ever eat raw oysters though? I never saw any when I went last year. They seem to only do battered, without bones and without skin.

Thats one question and statement.

>I have to imagine the sight of raw marine life would badly traumatise them

That is separate statement. The way you worded your post is your downfall, retard.

I like them, but it's not something I would eat regularly.

pretty much sums it up.

They gotta be fresh as lad. Avoid too much dressing, just a bit of lemon juice can be great.

Don't listen to that other user. Some people swallow them whole (which is easy due to their texture), but chewing offers more flavor. Both are acceptable, but I recommend trying one plain first and chew. Then add lemon/tobasco/etc to one if you desire. They have a very clean flavor so it's worth trying them plain.

You've gotta know where to go unless you live by a place where they are harvested. They are also traditionally a seasonal food because they can make you sick if wild and harvested during the wrong times.

>equating individuals with their country of origin
Yeah, I guess """I""" should avoid causing any more wars, thanks for the tip
